## OpenJump Reviews
  ### 1. It was not difficult to figure out, and did what I wanted, but crashed fairly often

**Rating:** 3.0/5.0 stars

**What do you like best about OpenJump?**

I was unable to find anything else that could do what OpenJump can, for free

**What do you dislike about OpenJump?**

I had to save often, and changes were often lost.  

**Recommendations to others considering OpenJump:**

Definitely worth trying out.  It's been a couple of years since I used it, so I can't speak for the current status of software stability, but I found saving often was a major necessity.  Keep backups.  Otherwise it was perfect for what I needed.  I could rearrange the borders of postal codes, remove/add borders, map them out do data (postal code title, population, etc) and use that information in TileMill to create a stylized, interactive map to embed in a website.  

**What problems is OpenJump solving and how is that benefiting you?**

I was adjusting a map of postal codes to match the current borders, using an old map
